The wood you use for smoking can make all the difference in the flavor of your food. Different woods impart unique tastes, from sweet and mild to bold and smoky. When selecting wood, consider the food you’re cooking and the flavor profile you want to achieve.

For a mild, slightly sweet flavor, fruitwoods like apple and cherry are great for poultry and pork. For a stronger, more robust smoke, hickory and oak are perfect for red meats like beef and lamb. Mesquite offers an intense, earthy flavor, ideal for bold cuts and barbecue.

At Smokey Joes, we carry a variety of premium woods, so you can easily find the perfect match for your next smoking session!
